Canon Expands Entry Level Large Format Portfolio with New imagePROGRAF iPF670E

"When looking to expand business capabilities, employees must be able to expect premium services and confidently utilize new equipment right away," said Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "With the introduction of the entry-level counterpart of the iPF670, we are excited to offer a competitive solution for budget-minded customers interested in adding wide-format printing capabilities to their office."

Designed to increase accessibility for entry-level operations, the 24-inch iPF670E comes equipped with a total of 540 ml of ink differentiating it from competitors that offer less than 100 ml of ink to start with for similar devices. With an increased amount of ink, Canon has helped provide the tools necessary for those businesses entering the large-format market to get their operation up and running. The new iPF670E employs a 5-color dye and pigment ink system with C, M, Y, BK, and MBK. The imagePROGRAF iPF670E offers a competitive advantage of utilizing two types of black ink: MBK for a dense black tone on plain paper and BK for glossy media to enable high image quality for poster printing. Additionally, these new devices offer large 90 ml ink tanks for all colors, more than double that of the competition. The increased capacity of these color tanks will allow printers to stay on track and replace their tanks less frequently.

The imagePROGRAF iPF670E provides users with the high standards of reliability and efficiency that customers can expect from Canon devices. The printer's hot-swap ink tanks and non-firing nozzle detection and compensation features allow users to swap ink tanks in the middle of a print job without having to worry about ruining the print. In the event that a nozzle clog occurs, the iPF670E automatically compensates for this blockage by taking advantage of another available nozzle, due to the over 15,000 nozzles in the print head. Offering the ability to load larger rolls of diameters up to 5.9-inches compared to that typically offered by the competition, the imagePROGRAF iPF670E is able to help printers get more value out of their operation

Dialing in on the core features that are essential for convenient use, the iPF670E boasts enhanced usability that allows for high-quality printing through a large ink tank capacity and market leading speeds. In addition to a small footprint for office environment, this entry-level device answers to a variety of business needs at a low cost and simplifies a variety of large-format printing through ample software compatibility.

Available free for download for the imagePROGRAF iPF670E is the following software, not offered by competing devices:

Accounting Manager –Keeps track of  your ink & media costs.
